Phil Markert hosts ‘legends’ special

SYRACUSE — Phil Markert knows a thing or two about the history of broadcasting in Syracuse. That, along with his engaging style, makes him a perfect fit to lead a discussion with some of the other greats of Syracuse radio and television.
In Central New York’s Own: Broadcast Legends, a special airing Monday at 8 p.m. on WCNY-TV 24, Markert chats with Mike Price, Fran McGrath, and Claude “Red” Parton among others about their time in the local media during the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s.
